3 GET READY FOR INTERVIEWS An interview that ends in a job offer is not the result of luck. Preparation is key! Preparing for an interview will help you present yourself in a relaxed manner and will reduce the chance of getting flustered by unexpected questions. Once your cover letter and resume have gotten you in the door, it s up to you to let the employer know why you are the best person for the job. Practice & Prepare Use Big Interview (a free video interview-prep tool) to practice just about every question you re likely to get in over 20 industries using your webcam and this system of on-demand mock interviews. Talk with a Career Counselor For minute conversations, drop-in at the Hub (Mon-Thur, 1-4 pm & Fri, 1-3 pm). For longer conversations, call the Career Center for an appointment. Counselors can interview you with common questions, then offer you feedback. (i.e: a mock interview) TIPS Dress Punctuality Listen Talk Body language Act interested Answer questions Ask questions Evaluate Send a thank you More conservatively than normal. Be early, not late. Listen well so that you can answer well. Be friendly to receptionists. Participate in small talk before the interview. Avoid nervous habits, make eye contact, smile. Take notes, ask questions. Respond directly or ask for clarification if you re unsure. Prepare questions in advance. Bring notes if necessary. Immediately after the interview, consider how you feel. Send a formal within 24 hours. Remember: You are interviewing the employer or organization just as much as they are interviewing you. You want to make sure the employer or organization is a good fit for you too. Ask thoughtful questions that will help you know if this is a good fit. Don t miss out on a great job because you didn t practice and prepare.
